Butch Marginean is a renaissance dog and despite his desire to become an agricultural biologist or a particle physicist, broadcasting became an interest for him early in his life. He went on to obtain a CGC Degree from the AKC and then became interested in flying. After a sabbatical in Tibet where he was contemplating the premise that if he could eat one of the flying monkeys from the Wizard of OZ it would give him the ability to fly, Butch returned to the states and approached Jeff about the idea for a radio show based on his exploits in the book. Jeff, being a producer, began framing the idea which became the MBB Radio Show in 2008. Butch retains the executive producer spot directing Jeff in the weekly topic structure and content. When not working on the show Butch summers in the northern part of Italy outside of Florence and calls in his weekly direction when not in the USA helping to produce the show. He has an interest in acting and TV and is making plans to write his memoirs. He was more than a little upset with Jeff about how he was portrayed in the Award Winning “Tell-All” book “My Buddy Butch- Confessions of a New Dog Dad” and would like to set the record straight. The book is on hold until Butch’s attorneys work out the details with Jeff’s people. Jeff and Butch remain on speaking terms throughout the negotiations.
